Amazon Review By "innerfire" (Philadelphia, PA USA)
This review is from: Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Paperback)
If you are looking for a great all around introduction to Wicca as a religion and a way of life -- along with a good reference to dispel myths and stereotypes -- this is your book! Scott goes over a very brief history of Wicca, but then goes right into the Goddess and the God, the Sabbats and Esbats, magic, tools, jewelry, and supplies. At the back of the book he has a workable Book of Shadows (a sample -- with many things in Wicca, especially as a Solitary, you can change what you need to adapt for your life) and an herbal grimoire and recipes. Scott's book was one of the first to make Wicca acceptable to those who couldn't find covens or didn't want to be public about their curiosity. This book allows you to read in private and to start practicing without having to join anything, subscribe to anything, or buy any special materials. He makes it accessible, friendly, and down to earth. If you are looking for a Primer on Wicca without getting technical or complicated, buy this book. I have been practicing Wicca (as a Solitary, thanks to Scott) for 10 years, my book is very dog-eared and worn, but I still refer to it for inspiration and reference. Happy reading and Blessed Be!
